Our couples’ experts at Head Agenda work with you to help you find a way through when you are feeling stuck and afraid of going through the same cycle of communication. We work with you both to help you find different ways of communicating, of being heard in the relationship and spend a lot of time working with you to establish respect for each other.
At Head Agenda, we frequently work with people who are struggling in their relationship with someone or many in their life. These could be:
Head Agenda offers the best relationship counselling in Leeds or online if it is more convenient. We’re highly experienced in helping you to explore and notice what’s going on, your patterns of relating to others and new helpful ways of being with others can be practiced and introduced.
Our face-to-face couples therapy sessions are in the Leeds area, usually involve both of you and are confidential and completely non-judgemental.
Your therapist will be fair and give you both airtime. You’ll be encouraged to listen and hear the other, so that greater understanding, empathy, and recognition of the other’s emotional needs might emerge.
Together, we’ll help you address your differences and suggest changes to make your relationship happier and more fulfilling. You might be surprised that the therapeutic journey, whilst at times uncomfortable or difficult, is positive and enjoyable.
Investing in your relationship can help you see things in a different way and help you move from unhappily stuck to positively moving forward. What that means is finding a way for you both to be heard by each other, understand what each of you requires from the relationship and respect it even if it’s not something you both agree on. Finding compromise through those rough patches to build trust and strength in your relationship.
Head Agenda couples therapy can be a bridge that helps you connect with your partner’s world. We’ll help you talk about emotions honestly, giving you both the space to talk about difficult stuff including past experiences, significant people, habits, and unhelpful behaviour. There may be threats to your relationship. There probably was a time, maybe many years ago, that you felt happy, hopeful, and looked forward together.
Rather than ignoring the growing mound of things that have been swept under the carpet, you can face your difficulties with the help of Head Agenda couples counselling in Leeds or online.
The benefits of working together can be enormous, we find that many couples who come to Head Agenda discover that they are not as far apart as they first imagine, they both want the same thing but are unsure and feel too vulnerable to explain this to their partner. The benefits are not only to the couple but to you as an individual as you will have gained a greater understanding of yourself, what makes you respond the way you do and have an increased sense of self so that you feel empowered, confident, and able to find different ways of managing your difficulties.
Good relationships that are kind, accepting and supportive help us to flourish emotionally and physically. When relationships are difficult and we struggle to connect or feel there is disconnection and unkindness, we can feel rejected and often loneliness and unhappiness can result.
We do not know how to fix things. It may feel impossible, so therapy helps you find different ways of improving your communication, being clear and able to be heard by your partner, therapy helps you own your individual difficulties rather than blaming others this helps us to be less threatening and for the other not to feel attacked. If you have felt this, then therapy can help you. Head Agenda can help you to stop the escalation of arguments.
There can also be ‘drama’ that is ever present and means that feelings of either being or feeling in control swing to powerlessness and no control. We are very experienced in helping you to explore and notice what is going on, your patterns of relating to others and new helpful ways of being with others can be practiced and introduced.
Establish boundaries. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, even during an argument.
Try to repeat and explain what they’ve said to you, so that they feel you have heard them. This will relieve tension. Tell them what it’s like for you to not be heard. How does it feel? What does it make you think? Ask them to paraphrase what you’ve said.
Agree to disagree. Try to pin-point the issue and find compromises. Set boundaries and time outs to stop you both going over and over the same thing.
As this is your personal therapeutic journey, ask any questions you would like to know the answers for! Your therapist will guide to open up about your relationship and help you to set goals for the therapy work. Even if your goals differ, after all we are complex humans with our own needs, your therapist will help you to find common ground and improve the relationship that you have with each other.
A truthful answer is that a person cannot be forced to attend couples therapy or to change. We understand that beginning therapy can be quite a challenge, Head Agenda’s experienced couples therapists are skilled in understanding the needs of the couple as well as the needs of each person in that couple and how to support them to open up.
Many people find their concerns about going to couples therapy melt away after the initial session.
